the Musical association of Gethsemane

Artistic Character and the Correct
True Musical Culture" Mr.. Quinn
takes for granted that the voice has
been formed according to the traditions
of the old Italian school of PiStochi,
Bernacchi and P0rpora, and under
stood as explained by the sciences OF
acoustics, physiology and anatomy. The
forming Of the voice is purely intel
lectual, SO its development is essentially
the same. The forming OF tone is :
purely subjective. 1t is the ego of one
person; what Schopcnhauer calls the
will. The character or personality of
an artist is the soil from which an
artistic tone must spring. All
great artists have suffered i'll
tenSely, i. G., have been devel-
Oped SubieCtively. Before one artist
can reproduce the ideas of another: i. e.,
the,eSSenSe of another artists history,
or the history of Il souls deyelopment,
he must be receptive or refined by cul-
ture. An artist is true and immortal.
other. immortality and truth-the
twins of Plato's geniuS-are to be sought
in ones own being. When one has
thoroughly graSped this truth they have
an artistic nature, and the more thor
Oughly they grasp it, the more deVOutly
will they worship in the pOrtal of art.
True knowledge and conceit never III
habit the same being. One IS selfish,
the other artistic; one white, the other
black. y selfish person cannot be ar
tiStic because they cannot be truly de-
Vout. ImpoStorS seldom know humility;
cheek is not art. When one understands
the language OF an artist they can con-
ceiVe his idea PlatCnicJ: i. e., the sum
OF his experience. Before they do this
the master is locked to them. One that
is cOlor-Dlind cannot comprehend a pic
ture or the objective part of Il masters
hand. If they cannot grasp the material
side how can they grasp the spiritual,
subjective. moral or artistic meaning OF
an artist. The functions OF tones as
taught by the elements of music, i. e.,
harmony, counterpart. fugue and must

conceive the idea of another, or master

can never please refined audience.
They must sing to crafty their own
vanity. or make money through the
ignorance of audiences devoid of under
every fiber in their being in one grand

and comprehend the related ideas of
genius, then we will pain no one by
singing, and our efforts are sure of sue

burdened with overwhelming conceit,
is the best criterion to go by as to
whether we have sung well or
badly" Incapable Judges mis-

success There are two kinds of sing
ing, the bad and the good. The bad is
the child of ignorance or subjective de-
formity. The good is the child of intel
lectual. moral or eSthetic culture, and
force of will or character. Mr.. Quinn
thinks one should identify himself with
the words of Il song. Properly directed
effort is the offspring of intellectual
culture. The latter is art. Voice set
ting. like any other science, must be
taught or be not acquired i'll our life
time. If two artists execute the same
plies some physical or physical truths
that escape the other. Both disguise
nature-SO far as they differ, i. e., man
is fallible. They who fail in song are
those who have no intelligent control of
the emotions. We must rule the feel
ings: not be ruled by them. Expression
in music Or in language is the shell OF
intelligent design. The kernel is emo
ton. A voice placed by intelligence,
seasoned with emotions and conceived
by this will is sure OF success if audit
Ors are refined. Only by the unions of
all parts of the soul can artistic effects
be produced.

a small audience witnessed the sec
Ond presentation of Adolph Grethen'S
''ManitOu" ut the Grand last night. The
improvements promised have not been
sufficient to make a taking opera of the
"MantOu." and it will probably go the
way of the majority of musical compo-
Sitions.
This afternoon DAM orchestra will
give the last of the series of concerts
which has delighted so many music
loving people during the winter. The
programme will SurpasS in interest any
of its predecessors, being made up of
the choicest things given during the
winter. Mr.. DAM. at his last concert,
gave a list of sixteen numbers from
which the audience was requested to
choose preference, and the concert to-
day will consist entirely of such re-
quests.
AN UNPOPULAR ELEVATOR.
4 well-drcsSed man entered one of the
big blocks and rang the annunciator at
the elevator. The machine descended
and the door opened, but the we'll
dressed man suddenly turned and shot
up the stairway, while his voice tioated
down:
"GueSS I'll walk"
The elevator man smiled and with
drew into his cage. Presently the bell
tinkled and the cage assembled: it re
